1. Creationism, the position which even some scientists defend, which holds that the universe was created by God only 6000 years ago, and that a flood covered the whole Earth. It’s good to remember all the flood myths in the world, and that during the last glacial maximum or Ice Age which peaked around 17,000 years ago, sea level was 400’ lower than today. Civilizations, whatever form they took, would have been, as always, along those lower coastlines of warmer climes generally closer to the equator. The Persian Gulf would have been an actual, fertile, Garden of Eden, watered by the combined Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Those places would have been inundated by the melting of the glacial ice, sometimes catastrophically. Due to its expense and difficulty, marine archaeology is still in its infancy.

2. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics held that observation or the act of measurement affects a physical system, causing the set of probabilities to reduce to only one of the possible values immediately after the measurement. This feature is known as wave function collapse. This idea predominated the scientific community for much of the 20th century, and still has its adherents today. Einstein dismissed it, some would say ridiculed it, by asking, “Do you really believe I think the Moon only exists when I’m looking at it?”
3. The location of the first two Jewish temples was on the so-called Temple Mount in Jerusalem. For the faithful to believe this is one thing, but almost all archaeological (scientific) authorities who specialize in that area, are ideologically invested in disregarding all the biblical and extra-biblical evidence, such as the descriptions of the historian Josephus, that the first temples were just 600 feet to the south of the alleged Temple Mount, in the oldest part of Jerusalem, the City of David. The current alleged Temple Mount has to be the Fortress Antonia, which was left standing when the Romans captured Jerusalem in 70 CE to house the Roman 10th Legion for 200 years afterwards—while the City of David, with the Temple, was completely demolished at that time.

4. Global Warming (conveniently renamed to “Climate Change” due to an inconvenient pause in said warming).
All the following incidents indicate willful manipulation of data to support the idea of global warming.
The IPCC Climategate scandal in 2009 which released 1000 emails and other documents, which became known as Climategate:
Climatic Research Unit email controversy - Wikipedia
Then in 2011 another 5000 IPCC emails were released, commonly referred to as Climategate 2:
Climategate 2.0: New E-Mails Rock The Global Warming Debate
And again in 2017, whistleblower Dr. John Bates of NOAA, exposed similar manipulation at NOAA. This has also been termed Climategate 2, but it’s better to recognize it as Climategate 2.1:
